Post-install of SSM 4.0 and client-copy

We finished the installation of Sol. Man. 4.0 on a linux/oracle platform. At what point in the post install do we do the client copy of client 000 for data and client 001 for users to a new client? Before, during or after all the img config in 000?
thanks in advance,
Steven McElwee, Duke University
PS- Sap's install docs for SolMan 4.0 leaves much to be desired ...

Well, we had a chicken-and-egg issue here. Let me explain. By default, the SSM 4.0 SR2 install is at SP9, which gave it a somewhat simpler IMG. However, we gave in to the temptation of installing SP11 since this SPs were obtainable without Maintenance Optimizer, which gave us a more complicated IMG which includes, at some point, the client copy as mentioned above. We went through most of the IMG resulting from SP11 until we had Maintenance Optimizer working and then downloaded SP12.
I am in the process of installing the ABAP SP12 packages now and plan tomorrow to deploy the JAVA SP12 .SCA files. The IMG looks better and less confusing at SP12 than at SP11 or SP9. I think this calls for another IMG pass.
The $100 question - which parts of the IMG need to be done in client 000 and which to do in our client 100 (copied from client 000 after SP11 was applied). We are really confused on this point. If anyone can shed some light on this, i would very much appreciate it.
Sincerely,

Export/Import and Client Copy

Hi All,
Could you please help me with what are the major differences between Export/Import...client copy...and a System Refresh.How they differ from each other.
Regards
Rajesh

Hello Rajesh ,
I have capture some data from SAP Help :
Local Copy: Copying Clients Within a System:
You can improve the performance of the client copy by, for example, by excluding tables or packages, with Edit -> Expert Settings.
You can exclude tables from the client copy, for example if they are not relevant for the target client, in the Tables tab
Copying Clients Between Systems (Remote Copy):
The same product is installed, with the same release, in both systems
The client copier can copy a client into another system. The systems can be on different platforms. You can change the client number.
When you copy a client from one system to another, the data is transferred directly via the RFC interface - there is no intermediate storage on hard disk.
Transporting Clients Between Systems ;Client export (SCC8):
The client copier can copy a client into another system, which can be on a different platform. You can change the client number.
You are no longer required to transport clients before you can copy them between systems. You can make a remote copy instead.
Up to three transport requests are created, depending on the selected copy profile and the existing data.
The transport request for texts is e.g. only created if the source client contains customer texts.
<sid>KO<no> cross-client data
<sid>KT<no> client-specific data
<sid>KX<no> texts and forms
The data export is performed automatically asynchronously. The output of the export includes the names of the transport requests that are to be imported.
Import transport requests into the target client (STMS)
Choose one of the transport requests of the client transport in the Transport Management System (TMS). The other transport requests belonging to this client transport are then automatically added in the correct order.
Import these transport requests into the target client.
client import postprocessing (SCC7)
You need to perform postprocessing activities to adapt the runtime environment to the current state of the data.
Copy by Transport Request :
This function transports customizing changes that have been recorded in a transport request between two clients in a system.
You can choose whether you only copy the object list of the request or also the object lists of unreleased tasks in the request.
Entries in the target client are overwritten or deleted according to the key entries in the transport request.
Choose Administration -> System administration -> Administration -> Client admin. ->Special Functions -> Copy Transport Request.

Hi Manjula ,
              Below i mentioned the full detail about the error .
    RFC destination for client copy in systems with Financials Basis     (FINBASIS) component.
The system could not find any suitable RFC destination for processing     for client 000.     This note also appears if an RFC destination was found but this does not     work.     o   RFC destination: FINBTR@ID3CLNT000     o   Error text: Error during the retrieval of the logon data     Proceed as follows to eliminate this error:
1. Start the wizard to create a new RFC connection     or perform the following steps manually:     1. Create an RFC destination with the target ZK>source client of client         copy (in this case 000).
2. Check whether the RFC destination works in transaction SM59.         To avoid errors when assigning the password or the authorizations of         the RFC user, use the authorization test Test -> Authorization.
3. Enter the RFC destination:         -   Transaction: FINB_TR_DEST (Destinations for Transport Methods of             the Financials Basis)         -   Client: 000
4. Start the client copy again.

Audit Issue in QA after system restore and client copy

Hi Experts,
We have an audit issue and need your advise on that.
Our QA system was audited and auditors were looking for the approval tickets on which a user was created. I found that several users that were not created in QA and do not even exist in QA have their change logs in QA showing that user was created.
I researched it and found the steps that Basis and DBA's do when creating a new QA client.
1. Basis export user master and authorizations using SAP_USER profile from the target QA environment.
2. Then DBA's restore the QA Environment from the Production Backup.
3. Basis import back the preserved User master and roles using SAP_USER profile.
But when reading about this profile, I came to understand that change documents ( USH* ) tables are not exported and imported back. So that is why we have change logs in our QA from Production system.
So my question is how to solve this issue, where Auditors look at the change documents in QA and ask for the documentation though in reality these change documents are coming from Production. Should we ask for DBA team to truncate USH tables or is there a client copy profile that saves the change logs that we can export and import back.

Hi,
as you know the USH* tables belong to delivery class L. The tables in this class are never copied during client copy but you don't do client copy. Idea of deleting records from L tables after backup restore does not sound good because you will loose all data. As a workaround you could backup content of tables with delivery class L, export users SAP_USER, restore production backup, import users and import backup for tables with delivery class L. There is around 5000 L tables in ECC. Another approach could be to restore production on different box and do proper client copy to QA system.
Cheers

Installation number and client copy

Hi Gurus,
Is client copy possible between two systems which has got two different installation numbers?
This is a very basic question I know, but i don't see any other source of information. Even the client copy pre-requisites doesn't tell anything about installation number. Hence could anybody who has already experimented tell me about this.
Thanks and Warm Regards
Syam

This question was answered by Gopalan Narayanan. Thanks Gopal
Client copy between different installation number systems is possible.

Extraction failing after source system and client copy

Hi all,
We refreshed our source QA system with a copy of production. And basically tried to "restore" the connection from our BW QA system. Some of the datasources can be extracted from BW, others fail with an error of "No transfer structure is available for InfoSource 0COSTCENTER_ATTR in the source system".
Trying to do the same thing with RSA3 in the source system, works fine.
The strange thing is it works for some objects but not others.
here's what we did:
1. System copy from R3 Prod to R3 QA
2. Client copy with R3 QA client 300 -> 200
3. Restore connectivity in BW QA to the R3 QA system (Using RSA1 -> Source System -> Restore)
4. Now some objects can be extracted in BW, others fail as I mentioned above.
I have regenerated the transfer structures in BW and R3.
All of these objects that don't work seem to work in RSA3 on the R3 system but not in RSA1 on BW.
All the SAP documentation is geared to copying the R3 source system and then restoring connectivity between BW and R3. I don't think any of it involves copying the client in the R3 source system - which might be causing our problems.
We are using an SAP delivered PDF and note 886102 mainly for direction.
SAP PDF is "How to... System Copy in SAP Business Intelligence System Landscapes".
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
can you isolate somehow the kind of DataSource which works and those who don't?
Master data / transactional or client dependent and not, delta or full....
To which R/3 client is your BW connected? when you succeed loading the data, is it coming from the right client?
RSA3: do you run it specifying your BW client in the target sys field? does it make a difference if yes or if not?
Are your RFC connections and partner profiles all right?
Check some IDOCs sent by BW received in R/3 and vice-versa (RSSEND, RSINFO, RSRQST..). Load a hierarchy (via IDOC)... verify that your IDOC have the correct partner settings....
let us know
Olivier.

Cannot install Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Client Tools on same machine

I am having trouble setting up Crystal Reports Server 2008 with Client Tools on a new Windows 2003 SP 2 machine. The Server 2008 package installs OK (built-in MySQL server, built-in Tomcat 5.5 server). Reports run okay. But my customer wants to run reports that use Salesforce as a data source, so I tried to install Crystal Reports Server 2008 Client Tools (needed for Salesforce support, apparently). I receive this error:
'Business Objects product detected: cannot continue with install'. Installation of Client Tools immediately terminates.
Oddly enough, when I uninstalled Server 2008, the Client Tools installed successfully. Then I tried installing Server 2008, and I got the same error message as with Server 2008. What the heck?
Any ideas on how I can get Server 2008 and Server 2008 Client Tools to live in harmony on the same machine? We were able to do this with a (otherwise overloaded) Win2K3 server before.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Typically the client tools are installed with enterprise by default. If not then you would want to use add/remove in control panel and select them. The installer thinks you are trying to install enterprise on top of itself and thus the error.

Tim

Mountain Lion is missing, after installing an external hard drive and Carbon Copy Clone.

I have a mid-2007 desktop iMac Model MA877LL, 2.4 ghz/1gb/320gb, with 4 GB memory, upgraded to Mountain Lion 9/7/2012 at an Apple store (now 10.8.5). I just installed a new external hard drive Fantom Drive 1T G-Force Mega Disk Firewire 800, then installed Carbon Copy Clone successfully. However, I could not get the clone to boot from the backup volume. Mountain Lion showed in both Macintosh HD and External Hard Drive at that point. After working through many steps with CCC, trying to get it to boot, the final suggestion was to try installing Mountain Lion onto the backup disk via the Mac App Store Installer. As my Mountain Lion was installed at an Apple store, there's no record of it on line and I can't find an installer, although I've been doing updates as they're issued. Per article, "OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume", I erased and reformatted the storage device. Now, checking my Macintosh HD, Mountain Lion is gone. How do I get it back?

Are you saying that your internal HD doesn't have an operating system on it either, meaning you can't boot your iMac at all? Or that the external was also named "Macintosh HD" in which case, having been erased and reformatted (hopefully with a GUID partition table), you'll need to clone your internal to it once again.

Client Copy in BI 7.0 and ERP 6.0

Hi
I have done a system copy of both the BI system and it's source ERP system and am following the post copy steps to ensure that the connectivity between the two is maintained. However before I run BDLS to change the logical system names I would like to change the client numbers on both the BW and ERP client. Does anyone know what the implications of doing a client copy in both systems is and then running BDLS for these logical system names? Has anyone tried this and was it successful? Can you do a successful client copy of BI?
Points awarded.

System Copy vs Client copy

Hi,
I have to choose between a copy with or whitout data from PRD system to DEV.
I'm little confused about the difference between System Copy and Client Copy.
Which is that includes a copy of data also?
Then, System copy = Refresh system?
Please, reply me directly, without post link.....
Many thanks.

Hi,
Please do an SDN search of these terms.
Also read SAP Note 886102 for all system copies scenarios.

Client Copy Solution Manager Enhacement Package 1

Hello solman experts!
I'm going to install SolMan EHP1 (SPS20). I'm preparing execution plan for installation. Now I have problem in step sequence.
Should I make client copy first and then run tamplates for initial configuration (from SOLMAN_SETUP)?
When I installed PI 7.1 I made client copy before template run (I checked note 1309239). But for SolMan I didn't find any information regarding SolMan client copy and template (and also SOLMAN_SETUP) sequence.
Do you have any ideas?

Oracle 10.2.0.1 client install during SLES10 AutoYast post-install

Hello all,
I'm stumped and could use a little help. I'm attempting to use the silent install method for the 10.2.0.1 Oracle client on a SLES10 SP2 via autoyast post install scripts. The script runs just fine if I use it to install after SLES10 has been completely installed. At first I suspected and environment issue, but I've doubled checked against the env during autoyast and post install completion env. Not sure what to check next, I've tried searching for minimum environment requirements for OUI, but found nothing.
silentInstall2010-05-01_10-00-43AM.log reports:
** Error Dialog: OUI-10151:There was an error while loading library: areasQueries ***
User Selected: S&top installation of this component only.
java.io.IOException: No such file or directory
This silent installation was unsuccessful.
It was "generalQueries" until I added an ldconfig command in the script thinking something was wrong with the gcc env.
Here is the script I'm using...
#!/bin/bash
BASEDIR=/installsvr/repos
TMPDIR=/tmp/oracle_install
HASORACLE=`grep $1 /etc/passwd`
HASOINSTALL=`grep $2 /etc/group`

Found the issue...it was in the script. Evidently, the process checker only worked after the OS install had completed and the script was run manually. I changed that section to...
PROC=`ps -ef | grep ^$1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}'`
while [ ! -z "$PROC" ]
do
echo "-- installOracle.sh: waiting for oracle installer to finish --"
sleep 5
PROC=`ps -ef | grep ^$1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}'`
done
...and all is well.

Install SCCM Client Post Install via MDT 2013

I want to know best practice on how to install the SCCM client via MDT 2013 as a post install task sequence? Im deploying a lot of machines via MDT offline USB....
Is it grabbing the ccmsetup folder and using the following command line?
ccmsetup.exe /noservice /MP:<insert> SMSSITECODE=<insert> smscachesize=10000

There's no such thing as a "best practice" for most real-world tasks; real-world is different for everyone which means you need to know the details and choose the right things for your environment.
You need to run the command-line that is appropriate for your environment just like you would for any manual install.
Without knowing any details about your environment, I would add the SMSMP and FSP properties to the above command-line. If this is truly an offline install, you shouldn't use /mp though, you should use /source and point it at the client directory.
